How to Make Your Eyelashes Look Longer

Long eyelashes have always been a sought after feature many women wish they had naturally. However if you were not blessed with super long thick eyelashes, there are some tricks you can do to help them out.

Instructions

1. 

   Before you apply your mascara make sure you use an eyelash curler and curl your eyelashes. This really does give the effect of longer lashes. You then want to apply a good mascara.

   There are many mascaras out there promising to give you the appearance of longer, thicker and fuller lashes, but which ones should you try? You may have to try out a few to find the one that works the best for your eyelashes. Read the container and see what it says about making your lashes appear fuller, thicker,or longer. Here are some I recommend.
   My favorite overall mascara is Lancome Definicils. It may be a bit pricey for some at about $20.

   Best cheaper mascaras that work great.

   A trick I have recently heard about is using Vaseline everyday on your lashes to make them grow in fuller, thicker and even darker. The thing is you have to o it every day to see results and some people swear they have experienced great results while others have not. Each person is different, and the great thing about this trick is it is very inexpensive!

   All you do is apply a coat of Vaseline with either your finger tips or use a clean and unused mascara wand. All you need is a light coat. The best time to do this is before you go to bed at night and then wash it off in the morning. You don't even have to wash it off, unless you plan on putting mascara on. The two should not be mixed, since Vaseline while cause the mascara to come off quickly and smear. It can take a few weeks to see results or even maybe a few months.

   A similar method is using Olive, Vegetable or Castor oil the same way as you do the Vaseline.

   Another alternative is to use a prescription medication called Latisse. It is a FDA approved scientifically proven method to help produce thicker, darker and longer lashes. It is a prostaglandin analog that you apply to the base of your upper lashes and within 8 weeks you will see results. There has been many success stories about Latisse and they even have the famous Brooke Shields as their spokesperson. If you want more information on this product then you should talk to your doctor because you can only get it by prescription.

   If you want immediate results try using false eyelashes. They are very easy to put on these days as they have improved tremendously. They come in individual false eyelashes, reusable, even different colors and sizes. They even have ones with highlights. This is what most of the celebrities do to get the look many of us are after. They just have the luxury of someone putting them on for them.

6. 

   You can choose to trim your eyelashes a bit to help them grow on longer. However beware some swear by this method whole others swear away form it. Your lashes will grow back in, it just may take some people time to grow them back.
